    Hybrid Optimized LMMSE based Channel Estimation with Low Power Trellis Coded Modulation

    In the wireless channel environment, the data transmission faces many safety problems and power transmission loss. This results with the negative impacts while precise channel estimation. Furthermore, the existing channel estimation (CE) model directly estimates the channel matrix; still, the accuracy and the high complexity may cause path loss. Alternate to the direct estimation in the channel matrix, the parameter estimation model is used to solve the above issues. Moreover, the training based CE including Linear Minimum Mean Square Error (LMMSE) and Least Square Error (LSE) are ubiquitous in certain wireless standards to reduce the Mean Square Error (MSE) among the estimated and original channel. Certain intelligent optimized techniques are introduced to optimize the channel. This paper intends to introduce a Trellis Coded Modulation (TCM) with hybrid optimization in LMMSE for the Optimal CE. Moth amalgamated Elephant Herding Optimization (MAEHO) algorithm is the proposed hybrid optimization. At last, the performance of the adopted model is computed over other existing schemes in terms of various measures. 

    From the environmental debt to the environmental loan: trends and future challenges for intergenerational discounting

    It is well known that the incorporation of the intergenerational equity objective has turned the traditional Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) approach into an obsolete tool for the evaluation of certain types of projects, particularly those exhibiting many environmental externalities and those whose effects extend throughout a long period of time. Two main changes are taking place in CBA in order to adapt this methodology to the sustainable development paradigm: (a) the development of new tools for the economic valuation of environmental externalities that were traditionally left out of the analysis; and (b) an in-depth revision of the theoretical foundations underlying the traditional approaches to discounting, since the repercussions of decisions that are presently being debated will extend to a distant future (in some cases for centuries), whereas in the classical CBA, we deal with few decades at best. This paper aims at investigating the discounting operation in CBA, trying to summarize the main approaches available in the literature, with specific reference to the tools which allow future generations to be included in the analysis. In order to support the theoretical explanation, a real case study is analysed concerning the evaluation of a waste incinerator that has been constructed in the Province of Turin (Italy)
